How Did Floyd Really Look?

[Cletus Funk]

I mean to the casual fan it was boring. But, if you really watch boxing closely you can appreciate what he did out there. His reflexes were great, but Baldy is slow anyhow. Overall I expected to see what I actually saw he dodged the hell out of Blady in the corner. Did anyone else like that? Baldy had him in the corner and he kept missing Floyd and hitting the padding in the corner.

Yeah, there must have been 10-15 punches that he slipped in the corner at one point. Nice. Baldomir is slow as hell though, he makes HW's look fast.

two words.... "easy work"

Mayweather took about 2 or 3 clean shots from Baldomir and didn't even flinch. There goes Baldomir's "power".

People really do underestimate Mayweather's chin and strength. He took Baldomir's punches and wasn't outmuscled.

It was a technical boxing clinic, especially his defence. Baldy looked like he was throwing punches in slow motion

As a boxer, i appreciated the skill involved in the display

But i could understand a casual boxing fan finding it a tad boring.

That's a great point he doesn't get credit for his chin. Also he was a lot more physical than Baldy. Baldy was the one that looked weak on the inside. Floyd had a great strategy in close. He knew that when they were tied up Baldy would try and throw whatever he could. So Floyd locked his arms most of the time when they were in close.

Interesting point re: their comparitive strengths. One argument I questioned that some people were trying to make leading up to the fight, namely that Baldomir is the bigger, stronger fighter.............Who is at more of a disadvantage: 1.) The fighter who has to drop 30 lbs to make weight, or 2.) The fighter who does not have to make any drastic adjustments and can come in closer to his natural weight?

that defense was superb.even better then a prime tysons.(only for tonight)

he looked great..he used the ring to his advantage by not letting baldomir corner him and if his cornered he used his defense and head movements to move and not get hit by baldo's shots..
